RECEPTACLE FOP. USE BY CAP MAKERS.

Application filed July 24, 1825. Serial No. 45,920.

To all whom 2'2. may concern:

lie it known that I, HARRY Linsiiirz, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Atlantic City, in the county of Atlantic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful-Improvements in Receptacles for Use by Cap Makers, of which the following is a specification.c

This invention relates to a container or receptacle and pertains particularly to a receptacle designed for use by cap makers.

The primary object of this invention is the provision, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, of a receptacle designed to be secured to the work machine of a cap maker for holding size tickets and sizing sticks in proper assorted order so that the worker can select any ticket or stick as desired, quickly and without delay. I

The device embodying this invention cornprises a relatively long narrow receptacle having a vertical back and having the rear of the bottom thereof flat and the forward portion of the bottom curving upwardly to a point about equal with one-half of the height of the receptacle. Above the front edge of the bottom, the receptacle is open throughout its length and throughout the length of v the top thereof. Suspended in side by side relation throughout the length of the receptacle and in the top thereof is a series of open top compartments or trays, thefront portion of the bottom thereof being curved upwardly in the same manner as the bottom of the receptacle proper. Inthese top trays the hat maker keeps an assorted series of tickets and in the lower compartment which extends throughout the length of the receptacle, the hat maker keeps sizing sticks for use in connection with the operation of his machine.

A further and final object of this invention is the provision, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, of a receptacle of the type above described which will be of simple, light and durable construction, inexpensive to manufacture and easily and quickly set up upon a machine.

The invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings i'iorminga part of this specification, with the understanding that the invention is not confined to any strict conformity with the showing of'the drawings but may be changed and modified so long as such changes and modifications mark no material departure from the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claim. 1

In the drawings y Figure l is a top plan view of the device .1 iodying this invention. i p

i1 igure 2 shows the device in front eleva lion.

Figure 3 shows an end elevation of the device and,

Figure is a transverse section taken upon the line t l of Figure 1.

Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the receptacle embodying this invention is of relatively long narrow construction comprising vertical back and end walls 1 and 2 respectively'and a combined bottom and front wall indicated generally by the numeral 8. This combined bottom and front wall. of the receptacle comprises the fiat bottom proper 4, the forward part of which describes a curveof approximately onequarter of a circle to set up curved front walls 5. As shown the top edge 6 of this top wall rises to a height greater than one half of the height of the entire receptacle leaving the upper portion of the front of the receptacle open as indicated at 7. The end walls extend outwardly as shown beneath the curved front portion 5 and from the upper edge 6 of the front, the end walls slope backwurdly to the point indicated by the numeral 8, to the point 9. y The upper part of the receptacle has no top therein, but there extends throughout the length of the receptacle beneath the open top thereof a tray bottom indicated generally by the numeral 10, and this tray comprises a flat bottom portion 11 the rear edge of which abuts the back wall 1 of the receptacle and extends forwardly to a point approximately directly above the front portion of the bottom 4 whereupon this tray curves upwardly as indicated at 12in a 'manner similar to the upwardly curved front portion 5 togive to the tray a front wall as is shown.

The tray 10 is divided transversely into a series of coinpartn'ients 13 and by means of the parallel spaced transversely extending partitions 14 which divide thetray as shown in Figure 1. The front edge of the curved wall 12 of the tray 10 is provided with a series of recesses 15, each recess occurring in the longitudinal center of the front portion of a compartment 13.

Extending at right angles from each end of the receptacle is a supporting bracket in which there is formed the apertures 17 through which securing bolts or other supporting means may be passed to support the receptacle in position where desired.

From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that there has been provided a new and novel structure in receptacles of this sort for keeping in assorted condition tickets for use by cap makers and also keepiiig handy sizing sticks, which are used by the cap makers upon the machine.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is A- receptacle of the character set foixh comprising, a relatively long body having back, end and bottom walls, the forward portion of said bottom being formed to provide a substantially semicircular upward curve to set up a front wall terminating at v the top a substantial distance below the top of the receptacle, the front edge of each end wall sloping upwardly and backwardly from the top of said front wall, a longitudinally extending tray arranged between said end walls below the top edges thereof, the foi ward portion of said tray being curved upwardly above the curved front wall of the receptacle and terminating at the top of said sloping front edges, and a series of partitions extending transversely of said tray to set up a longitudinally extending series of transversely arranged compartments in the upper portion of said receptacle.

In testimony whereof, I atlix my signature hereto.

HARRY LIBSHITZ.
